Good luck in your training Cerberus. Weights are okay, but need to be done properly and not at the expense of skill training and the cardio needed to compete. If fighting in amateurs is your goal for April, then yea, make sure you have the lungs to be going hard for 3 rounds. Make sure you have the basics down. Get in all the sparring you can. In novice having wind to go the distance hard is often the difference between a win and a loss.
